MSFS 2020 has become so unstable

Featured Replies

Past 3 years of flawless enjoyable flights in MSFS 2020 from GA to Airliners, now every flight ends in CTD, thinking it might be the latest Nvidia 572.16 driver, I rolled it back but still, the same problem exists. I don't have the this issue in MSFS 2024. Eventviewer tells me  that Flight simulator.exe is the culprit ("Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.38.2.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\FlightSimulator.exe")

Is anyone having this problem in 2020 and can anyone offer a fix.

  • You cannot chose which server you connect to for streaming content. The “server” option is only for multiplayer - it has no other purpose, and if you do not use multiplayer, then changing the “server”

  • I am still using 2020, and am finding it working really well. Smooth flights, no stutters. At the moment it meets all my requirements.

  • Absolut no issues with MSFS2020, best Flightsimulator at the moment i ever had in use ! cheers 😉

I have no issues at all with FS2020

MSFS2020 Steam  // Rig: Corsair Graphite 760T Full Tower - ASUS MBoard Maximus XII Hero Z490 - CPU Intel i9-10900K - 64GB RAM - MSI RTX2080 Super 8GB - [1xNVMe M.2 1TB + 1xNVMe M.2 2TB (Samsung)] + [1xSSD 1TB + 1xSSD 2TB (Crucial)] + [1xSSD 1TB (Samsung)] + 1 HDD Seagate 2TB + 1 HDD Seagate External 4TB - Monitor LG 29UC97C UWHD Curved - PSU Corsair RM1000x // Thrustmaster FCS & MS XBOX Controllers

My solution to the unresolved was to create a back up of my online store folder and do a full clean install of win & sim.

Today I keep a back of of my initial Win 10 install & Online store folder, just in case I ever get into trouble.

Me neither before I moved on.  I'm not naive to think that 2024 couldn't have the same issues.

Like my old boss used to say "its software, it never changes"  and today throw in infrastructure.

I'd like to go totally MSFS 2024 but I've got a lot of 3rd party aircraft from 2020 that aren't yet compatible with 2024 and the  default scenery textures for Australia in 2024 are pretty ordinary and in need of some attention.

It still uses a 12 year old Bing scenery :angry:

That explains it, outside the main cities or about 90% of the country it's horrible....gotta wonder about Asobos logic - 2020 is much better!

Actually - it is still the same scenery in 2020 - just stuffed up further by Asobo in 2024 especially the trees

If it wasn't for Orbx - et al - the cities would still be as they were in the first edition of 2020

Take that Driver out, shoot it then run over it with a truck and burn the remains.

It caused me no end of grief on my system and I only ended up (hopefully) sorting it by doing a full uninstall (use DDU) and reverting to whatever driver windows update gave me.

I did try at first simply rolling back a few versions manually but that only partially solved it, it was allowing window to grab a driver through an update that fixed it for me...good luck

Me neither. Using the same graphics driver as you, flying in a variety of short-medium range airliners (PMDG, iFly, Feneix, FBW, Heawinds etc) pretty stable with DLSS 4 and a 4 series graphics card. Only thing I notiiced is perfomrance in heavy traffic and large airports with Photogrmmetry cities can be a bit choppier than the previous driver, but not enough that I can be bothered to revert in my case.
